Sunday afternoon at the Lemoore Raceway saw Dan Myrick win the 25-lap Central Valley Mini Stock season finale, in the end beating out overall points leader Greg Baronian. He took charge following a lap-six caution flag, passing Baronian on the flag. But the talented Baronian stayed close, often running side by side laps with Myrick, and at one point late in the race led the 11th lap before Myrick again resumed command.

Myrick steadily pulled away in the remaining laps and won the race by a straightaway, as Baronian finished second and Brent Myrick raced to a third-place finish. He finished ahead of Ryan Blank, Tom Durant, Dick Adams, Ryan Doglione, Randy Brown, Lindsey Brown, and Logan Doglione.
Ryan Doglione outran Baronian to win the first eight-lap heat race. Logan Doglione won the second heat ahead of Brent Myrick. Durant led the first five laps of the third heat race before Dan Myrick raced past for the lead and victory. Durant settled for second.
The California Mod Lites made their first appearance at Lemoore Raceway, and Zack Forster went on record as the first ever 25-lap main event winner for the division on the one-fifth mile dirt oval.

Forster and rising young star JD Brown are two of the front-runners on the circuit, and Forster set the pace from the start ahead of Colby Lewis. Brown was running fifth on the opening lap, but he settled into third on lap six. Forster led Lewis and Brown on a lap ten restart, but Brown slipped past Lewis for second a lap.

Despite two yellow flags during the second half of the race, Forster would not be deterred. He built nearly a straightaway advantage over Brown by the time the checkered flag flew. Lewis settled for third, followed by Anthony Balcazar, Kaden Cochran, Jacob Diamond, Kenny Cochran, Roy Maynard, and Danny Valdez.
